    It's not common, but it's also not as rare as most people believe. Every year, about 2,000 seemingly healthy young adults in the US die from a cardiac issue. That's between 5 and 6 a day in the US alone.

    Estimates of cardiac events among those 18-24 are around 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 100,000. With 12% of the US population meeting this age group, at 1 in 100,000, that's about 100 a day experiencing a cardiac issue in this age group alone.

    Maybe before you make any statements about what's happening, maybe you should do your research to see if this is normal or not? If you don't want to do your own research, I'm happy to continue to educate here.

    Karmic payback for media searching far and wide, for young healthy people, to pronounce them dead of Covid.

    One of my favorite ledes was the youngish LA bus driver almost weeping, pleading with his riders to wear masks.

    Days later the news led with …

    “Bus Driver Latest Covid Victim.”

    A couple high school athletes die each year from cardiac arrest. Why is this all of a sudden a thing that a certain group of people want to track? Are they interested in studying cardiology?

    I have reverse anecdotes. I played high school sports in Gainesville. And no athlete at any school or any sport had a heart attack.

    A teammate of mine did have a heat stroke that messed him up. And everybody knew about it. It was an incident of note for the city.

    Sounds like nobody ever paid attention to sniffles before 2020.

    Just as most of us with functioning brains and common sense expected. Instead of admitting they were wrong, the usual contingent will double down on their nonsense.

    And this is from a paper published in 2011
    Incidence of Sudden Cardiac Death in National Collegiate Athletic Association Athletes
    And this is from a study based on data after the Covid pandemic began but before the vaccine was developed (Article date September 11, 2020)
    15% of college athletes showed signs of heart damage after COVID. Should they sit on the sidelines to be safe?

    No. This has propaganda written all over it. We are not asking the real questions is the real problem. Could it be a heart defect? Sure. Could Covid and the shots (note I am not saying one or the other) have nothing to do with it? Sure. But all cause excess deaths are real. And the whole social media is a game changer in coverage. We are seeing more high profile issues than ever….

    If you can’t see the propaganda…cool.

    Just know we have studies from sources you love showing how to increase unnecessary inflammation if you are going to take the shot.

    If anything…these tests could be a reason that he should have never taken the shot! If he had a heart defect it could be presumed inflammation is not good (well it is not) and these shots could have been a contributing factor in the event. But you don’t want to ask that question. Sadly!
